Stay Grounded with Raj Jana

This episode is with my soul sister and dear friend, Lindsay Sukornyk. Lindsay is a TEDx speaker, transformational leadership coach for game changers, mama of 4, and one of the most inspiring souls I know. Her depth and willingness to navigate the edges of her psyche is one of my favorite things about her. In this deep dive conversation recorded LIVE in Nosara, Lindsay and I discuss using parts therapy to practice self love, learning to parent yourself as a form of self therapy, and how awareness is THE most powerful medicine of all. It was an incredibly enlightening conversation that left me nourished from the inside out. I hope you guys enjoy listening to this one as much as I did recording.Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to replace professional mental health support.

How do you navigate life when your reality doesn’t align with your expectations? February was a month of deep and difficult reflection for me. I found myself revisiting the topic of attachments and expectations - in business, health, and relationships. In many ways, I’ve been battling with myself as I cultivate the courage to stay connected to the magic of the moment instead of dwelling on the unmet desires of my ego. I think this is a common dilemma. What does it mean when we don’t manifest what we think we want? Maybe it’s an invitation to look for grace and fall deeper into faith. Because what if the true reality is that you can’t miss what is meant for you? As usual, I’m joined by your old friend Georgina El Morshdy in this reflection episode. Tune in now to hear us explore: Why reflection has the power to create meaning. Why meaning ignites a natural source of energy that makes life interesting. The difference between goals and expectations. The art of staying connected to the magic of the moment. Suffering as a choice. How to use love as a disruptive force in the universe. Why reflection helps us integrate life experiences and philosophical concepts. And more…A request.

This episode is my January reflection, a practice that has changed its flavor over time. Instead of finding lessons to learn from my reflections, I'm discovering patterns; it's like I keep coming back to what has worked and keeps working, and I find myself doubling down on what is true. Perhaps these reflections are transitioning into affirmations. As usual, I'm joined by my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy to help me steer the conversation's flow and make sure you get the most out of it. In this reflection episode, we explore:The differences between being grounded and ungroundedWhy having hard conversations is a shortcut to creating changeThe spoken word is the most powerful wandHow to entice massive transformations through self-forgivenessHow to integrate the idea of several deaths in a lifetimeWhat are angry responses protecting us fromWhat kind of questions invite an environment of forgivenessA word that keeps coming when I think of 2023 is trust. You are exactly where you are supposed to be; trust that you'll reach what you seek. Seek to feel comfortable in uncertainty, remembering that uncertainty is the only certain thing in this world. We thrive on your feedback, so if you've enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
